I got slightly better milage. My converters were on their way out. Car overall feels much much much better without the converters tho. Not to mention the sound. Oh the sound of unrestricted exhaust and a cam

When driving it easy it seems a little better but it is next to impossible to stay out of the throttle with that sweet exhaust sound

As said, you should not note any difference as long as your old set-up wasnt a bottleneck in your daily driving.

?? what that means?

I'm fairly certain that my gas mileage increased on my '95 Cobra. I had 2 chamber flows and a Mac o/r h pipe. I calculated over 30 mpg on a 475 mile trip probably averaging 75mph or so.

As stated, your right foot dictates your mileage tho

After installing a off road H-pipe on my 92 notch, I got at least 30 more miles to the tank on the Hwy.

ahahahahaha I knew it must be something about bear foot , thanks

what about the smell?

If the cats were not all clogged up and causing a restriction, milage should not go up. In other words, if you got a new O/R pipe and a new catted H-pipe, both should yield the same gas milage.

i personally like it, but it smells like you're burning jet fuel in comparison to a catted set-up. especially since i hafta run 93 octane. i like the smell, but if my windows are open or the top is down i can smell it in my clothes a slight bit and it annoys me a little when i dont want to seem like a real backwoods redneck. it is worth it for the sound, but it is noticeable to me...

how's your exhaust system?
i got bassani street comp and wonder what happen after adding off road x

Engel · Jan 13, 2007

I love it, it wears on me on highway driving but for around town its exactly what I like.

Its pretty quiet unless your at WOT or above 2.5k rpms

If the loudest exhaust were a 5 I would give it a 4. You can still make people jump if you WOT next to them, but ive heard way louder exhaust systems...

heres an old clip from a few years ago

It will sound AWESOME!!!. When I bought my car it had the stock H and bbk equal lengths and Bassani Cat back. Couple weeks after I got it I slapped my Bassani O/R X pipe on and talk about a difference. Sound was much different in a good way and pedal felt extremely lighter.
